Still a peanut!

We had the boys yearly check-up the other day and I was surprised to find out the Parker weighs 22 lbs! (I thought he was smaller). He is still in the 5% for weight and in the 30% for height. Poor kid...his brothers are going to tower over him when he is older!

And in other Parker news, he is cutting his bottom two molars...at the same time! They don't seem to be bothering him as much as the top molars did. Unfortunately, it takes him FOREVER to cut teeth and I cannot wait until this is over. Only 9 more teeth to go!

His favorite new game to play is "run from the doggies". He will be holding food in his hands and run around the house laughing hysterically while the dogs chase after him hoping to get some food in the process. The other day he was doing this while saying "Oh pickles". What a nut!

This one is for you Poppa!

The boys were looking at our wedding photos the other day (which they like to do frequently...not sure why!) and I was sitting listening in on their conversation:
B- Isn't my daddy handsome Jacob?
J- Yes, he is.
B- I love my daddy.
J- Well, I love poppa.

So sweet!

Daddy and the boys





We met some friends at one of the Spraygrounds. The boys had an AMAZING time. There were a ton of fountains spraying at all different heights and it was completely covered by shade (which is why the pictures are a little dark). There are no pictures of Parker because, as usual, he wants nothing to do with being sprayed. He wouldn't even put his toes on the water. So strange for a kid that LOVES the pool and will jump off the edge!

It's how hot outside?!

We are going on our third day of 100+ degree weather. My a/c has been running non stop just to keep it 77 degrees in the house and to top it off, we lost our power the other day for almost 20 hours....and it was 104 outside! When is fall going to come!

Success!

I am happy to say that after 19 months of waking at night, Parker is finally night weaned. The process went much smoother then I expected. It was only two bumpy nights and then he has been sleeping a blissful 11 hours each night. I had forgotten what a full nights sleep felt like!
